Description: Thallus crustose, usually episubstratic, greenish white to blue-grey, of moderately to strongly convex, to 0.2 mm wide areoles, sometimes almost continuous but more or less cracked, rarely endosubstratic and poorly evident. Apothecia micareoid, rounded, sessile, not constricted at base, sometimes confluent and tuberculate, flat to convex, 0.15-0.7(-1) mm across, variously coloured, from completely whitish to greyish, lead-grey, grey-brown, blackish or black, or often piebald or bluish tinged, at first usually with a slightly paler margin, but later mostly immarginate. Proper exciple up to 50(-60) μm wide, colourless to straw-coloured, composed of densely branched and anastomosing, 1.8-2.5 μm wide, paraphysis-like hyphae; epithecium scarcely differentiated from the hymenium; hymenium 40-55 μm high, colourless, but in upper part slightly olivaceous straw-coloured, greyish-green to aeruginose-green in darker apothecia, K± greenish intensifying, C+ fleeting orange-red, N+ red,; paraphyses conglutinated, branched and anastomosing, 1-1.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells to 2.5 µm wide; hypothecium more or less colourless or pale yellow, 50-70 μm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, in K/I with a blue outer layer and apical dome and unstained wall, the dome with an apical cushion, (25-)35-45(-50) x 12-15 μm. Ascospores (1-)3(-5)-septate, hyaline, fusiform-elongate, often slightly curved, (11-)15-23(-24) x 3-5(-6) μm. Pycnidia often present, of two types: a) small, 30-70 μm wide, immersed to ±sessile, whitish to dark olivaceous-green, producing thread-like to narrowly baciliform microconidia measuring 5-7.5(-8) x 0.4-0.7(-0.9) μm; b) immersed, 120-150 μm wide, often widely gaping, concolour with thallus around ostioles or greenish producing usually strongly curved, sometimes sigmoid, rarely also straight, mostly 3-septate macroconidia measuring 16-38(-50) x (1-)1.2-1.5(-1.7) μm; pycnidial walls C+ fleeting orange red, K- or K+ intensifying green when pigmented. Photobiont micareoid, the cells 4-8 μm wide. Spot tests: thallus and apothecial sections K-, C+ red, KC+ red, P-. Chemistry: gyrophoric acid.
